Chapter 623 Death

As night fell, Lou Yi and Yu Tai still did not issue an order to attack.

They still have to wait.

We must wait until the enemy forces relax their vigilance and become exhausted before launching a formal attack.

The move "Fire Horse Charge" can only be used once.

If it fails the first time, the enemy's rear will be on guard.

At that time, it will be difficult to attack the enemy's defense line with a fire horse charging into the formation.

Anyone who has marched or fought knows that it is easiest to relax when it is about to get dark.

And what they have to wait for is this time!

Now, as long as the Beifu Army doesn't take the initiative to rush out and attack their troops, they will keep waiting.

Judging from the current situation, the Beifu Army does not seem to have any plans to take the initiative.

In that case, just wait!

"Tell all the troops to take turns to rest! But the armor and weapons must not be left behind!"

After Lou Yi gave an explanation, he followed Yu Tai into the tent.

As soon as the two sat down, Yu Tai suggested: "I think that our two armies can each mobilize 5,000 infantry from the camp as a reserve force. What does Your Highness think?"

"General Yu is afraid that the attack at dawn will not go smoothly?"

Lou Yi saw through Yu Tai's worries at a glance.

"Ah."

Yu Tai did not hide his worries, "The combat power of the Beifu Army cannot be underestimated. Even if we are fully prepared, we must be prepared for an unfavorable attack! Once the attack is unfavorable, we must send reserve forces to continue the attack. Give the enemy any chance to breathe!"

Yu Tai is a battle-hardened veteran.

As a veteran, caution is almost engraved in his bones.

In this kind of tough battle, they must prepare for the worst.

If you want to attack, you must break through the enemy's defense line in one go.

If the enemy is given a chance to breathe and readjust their deployment, the people they attacked before will die in vain.

"What General Yu said is true!"

Lou Yi nodded in agreement, "Then just follow what the old general said!"

With that said, Lou Yi immediately called someone to send an order, ordering the rear camp to send 5,000 more infantry.

Lou Yi also specifically reminded that the additional 5,000 soldiers had to move forward quietly and not to make any big noise.

They now want the enemy to relax their vigilance.

If the noise is too big, it will be self-defeating.

"Your Highness is as meticulous as a hair, I admire you!"

Yu Tai chuckled and immediately ordered Qiu Chi's messengers to go and deliver the order.

At midnight, the additional 5,000 soldiers sent by Qiu Chi and Dayue Kingdom had already entered the predetermined position.

Lou Yi and Yu Tai rested briefly for a while, then went outside to check the sky at the same time.

Although it was still early before dawn, the two of them did not feel sleepy at all.

They all know the importance of this battle.

As long as they break through the enemy's defense line in one battle, they will basically win.

In such an important battle, they did not dare to relax at all.

After a long wait, the sky finally showed a hint of fish belly white.

It's now!

The two looked at each other silently and gave the order to attack at the same time.

In order not to alert the enemy, they did not even sound the drum of attack.

As the two men issued their orders, the two-winged men and horses who had been prepared immediately led the war horses tied with hay and doused with kerosene to the front.

As the soldiers at the rear set the body of the war horse on fire, the horse immediately let out a mournful cry under the fire. Driven by the soldiers at the rear, it rushed towards the gap in front with its body covered in flames.

"kill!"

"Kill!"

"Come over, charge me!"

Behind the blazing horses, a large group of cavalry made a loud killing cry.

By this time, they no longer need to worry about disturbing the Beifu Army!

As long as the war horses break through the gap in front, they can follow them immediately.

"Dong dong dong..."

At the same time, the sound of war drums sounded from behind them.

The distance of two hundred feet is too short for a war horse.

The war horses burned by the fire increased their speed to the extreme and rushed towards the gap ahead desperately.

Seeing the enemy's fire horses rushing over, the Beifu army guarding the gap seemed to be frightened. They did not even have basic defenses and retreated in panic.

Seeing the defenders at the gap retreat without a fight, the cavalry behind the horses suddenly became extremely excited.

"Rush! Hurry for me!"

The leader, General Qiu Chi, roared loudly, as if he had seen the enemy troops being rushed away by them and fleeing in all directions.

Soon, those war horses rushed to the gap in front.

The Juma at the gap could not stop these crazy horses at all. Even if the Juma stabbed their bodies, the horses covered in fire were still forced forward by the flames on the horses behind them.

Although many war horses fell down due to injuries and the burning of the fire, the horses in the gap were completely destroyed.

After rushing through the gap, the war horses that still had the strength to spare were still rushing forward, but not far after they had rushed out, the body of the war horse running in the front suddenly dwarfed, and there was a crisp sound from the horse's legs.

Trapped in a horse trap!

As the horse's legs were shortened, the war horse in front immediately fell to the ground.

The war horses that followed also fell to the ground and let out bursts of mourning.

Before the cavalry at the rear could react, several servants hiding behind the city wall suddenly rushed out, holding several gongs in their hands and banging them hard.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

The shrill sound of the gong sounded.

The fire horses, which were already in chaos due to being trapped in the horse pit, were frightened again.

In an instant, the frightened fire horses turned around and rushed towards the cavalry behind them.

"Spread out, quickly, spread out!"

The leader, General Qiu Chi, saw that the situation was not good and immediately shouted loudly.

However, they followed too closely.

Before they could disperse, the war horses covered in fire had already rushed into their formation.

In the chaos, the spears tied to the burning horses also stabbed the cavalry horses in the rear.

The sudden situation threw the cavalry following the horses into complete chaos.

"Don't mess up! Don't mess around at all! Charge over, come to me!"

General Qiu Chi roared loudly, trying to stabilize the chaotic team.

At this moment, a rain of arrows came over.

General Qiu Chi, who was roaring loudly, could not dodge at all, and was directly shot into a sieve by a hail of arrows.

Many of the cavalry around him also fell to the rain of arrows.

This sudden reversal instantly caused the soldiers in the rear to panic.

Now, it’s not the case that they continue to rush forward, it’s also not the case that they don’t rush forward.

The war drums are still beating, so the attack cannot stop!

Anyone who retreats will be punished as a crime of fear of war.

Spurred by the sound of war drums, the chaotic Qiuchi cavalry had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to charge forward.

Above their heads, patches of arrow rain continued to cover them.

Although the Qiuchi cavalry were panicked, they still bent their bows and arrows to fight back.

Although there were shield-bearing infantry on the city wall to protect these archers, some people were still shot by the enemy's arrows under the counterattack of Qiuchi's cavalry.

Under constant charge, Qiu Chi's cavalry finally broke through the horse trap behind the gap.

Not far in front of them was a city wall. It was naturally impossible for these cavalry to hit the wall head-on.

However, when they rushed to the left and right, they discovered that they were all resisting horses.

Behind Juma is a heavy shield.

Between the gaps in the heavy shield, a gleaming halberd was greeting them...
